Jin Xiaobao and Lin Daiyu were both taken aback when they heard Gao Hongsheng's words, who are these people, how to buy some Western furniture There are hundreds of sets, but when they turned their heads and thought about it, they wondered if he was bluffing.

In addition to the people brought by Gao Hongsheng, the other women in the house didn't believe it, after all, the amount was too large, who would have nothing to do with tens of thousands of taels of silver to resell Western furniture? Not to mention the high price of this thing, it still occupies a lot of space, and the sales may not be able to sell a few sets a year, which is not a fast product.

Jin Xiaobao was even more unhappy when he heard Gao Hongsheng's sarcastic words, turned his head and threw a wink at Gao Hongsheng, with a coquettish smile on his face: "Hey, I can't imagine that our shopkeeper Gao is still a big dealer, and even hundreds of sets of furniture are ordered, don't you know that there is such a big capital?" ”

"You don't have to worry about how much capital I have, hehe, or you follow me and forget it, and then you will know how much capital I have." After speaking, Gao Hongsheng glanced at Jin Xiaobao's figure with his eyes, with a color on his face.

"Hmmm! Little treasure! You just follow the shopkeeper Gao, his capital is not small, hahaha" Hong Jincai understood what Gao Hongsheng said, and came over with a wicked smile and interjected.

Although Jin Xiaobao didn't understand what they were talking about, the look and tone on Gao Hongsheng's face immediately understood that it was not a good word, and his face turned red as soon as he sang, and then said: "What a big shopkeeper, this word has to go around a few times, the little woman's capital is not as big as yours, but I don't dare to follow you, how big is your capital, or keep it for yourself." ”

"Haha......" Gao Hongsheng and Hong Jincai looked at Jin Xiaobao and laughed, although this little woman didn't understand what Gao Hongsheng meant by their words, but she could fight back immediately, which was a bit of a skill.

Laughed a little, enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone didn't care about sitting down, Gao Hongsheng sat in the first seat, Jin Xiaobao was still by his side, Lin Daiyu ordered to arrange it, and ordered a good dish from Yipinxiang.

In the interval of waiting for a pinxiang to deliver food, he even questioned Gao Hongsheng and asked him if he wanted to listen to Xiaoqu, and after seeing him nod in agreement, he issued a few tickets and sent them to his subordinates.

Gao Hongsheng curiously snatched Lin Daiyu's bureau ticket, and saw a long white single black printed, about the size of a book, with two big characters written on it from right to left, and the bureau ticket was divided into several lines from left to bottom and written vertically, "Lin Daiyujun called Lin Paner, to Pingwang Street on Sima Road, Ruyi Hall should be the third room, and the wine should not be delayed." "At the bottom of the ticket is a line of small print, which turns out to be the address of the printing house.

In addition to the name of the person and the first few rooms need to be filled in by hand, the other words on it are actually printed, and there is no need to write from beginning to end, which shows that the bureau ticket at that time has become a fairly common custom print, which is very modern invitation, probably this is the earliest modern invitation.

It seems that modern printed invitations are similar to this thing, basically some of the main things are printed, and everyone only needs to fill in the information.

However, we are all ready-made invitations that we have purchased, but even the address is printed on it, which can only be customized, and Gao Hongsheng carefully observed it and found that the upper and lower patterns of the bureau ticket were printed by rubbing, and there was no modern screen printing method for small batch processing.

At the same time, the paper of the ticket is also very thick, almost the same as the card, and the color is not very white, which shows that the bleaching of the paper at that time has not yet reached the snow-white effect of later generations.

Just when Gao Hongsheng was on the ticket of the Research Bureau, a woman singing music came in as soon as the curtain was raised, and she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a melon seed face, a long figure, wearing a lake-colored familiar Luo slanted jacket, dark wrinkled gauze trousers, a pair of small feet, and exquisite shoes with royal blue satin surface and white velvet embroidery. A willow leaf eyebrow, apricot kernel eyes, full of peach blossoms when he entered the door, with a smile in his eyes, he poured a blessing lightly to everyone in the house, and directly accompanied by musical instruments such as three-stringed and pipa, he sang Kunqu opera with a smile.

Kunqu Opera! Gao Hongsheng except that he knew that she was singing Kunqu Opera, he really couldn't understand a word, it was too difficult.

If you sing Peking Opera or something, he can still know a little bit, but Kunqu Opera, you say that a northerner can understand a few things, it's like playing the piano to a cow.

Speaking of which, Peking Opera still has a deep relationship with Kunqu Opera, and most of the repertoire of Peking Opera actually comes from Kunqu Opera.

At that time, in the opera garden in Beijing at the end of the Qing Dynasty, all the songs were Peking Opera, and if you want to listen to Kunqu Opera, you can only listen to these books.

Even Gao Hongsheng was very reluctant to listen to Kunqu Opera, but he still had at least some self-cultivation, even if he didn't want to listen to it, he didn't bother others, but leaned on the back of the chair to watch others sing in a regular manner.

After all, in Gao Hongsheng's eyes, these singers are all great experts, and in his mind, they are much better than those girls who scratch their heads and pose postures, and they are really kung fu.

It was only ten minutes of work to sing a song, Gao Hongsheng shouted "good" like a big fool, it was really a mallet watch, which caused Lin Daiyu and Jin Xiaobao and other women to laugh out loud.

Gao Hongsheng didn't pay attention to the coquettish laughter of the ladies in the room, took out four five-pound notes, and rewarded them generously.

Naturally, the eldest sister who was waiting on the side took it, checked the number, and shouted sharply: "The high shopkeeper will reward twenty pounds." ”

The laughter in the next room disappeared, and they looked at Gao Hongsheng in surprise, but they really didn't expect that he would be twenty pounds sterling as soon as he made a move, which was a lot of silver after converting it to huàn.

You must know that the table fee for setting up the table at that time was only ten eagles, and even the table of wine and food sent by the top Chinese food in Beijing today was only a dozen eagles, but Gao Hongsheng actually rewarded twenty pounds at once, just like he should have given a tip of five yuan but gave five hundred at once, which is really the owner of the money.

The woman who sang was just stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, laughing and groaning, and picked up the reward money quickly, the speed is so fast!

Then there were three or four other women who sang Kunqu opera on the stage, babbling and singing for more than ten minutes, short for five or six minutes, Gao Hongsheng did not favor one by one and rewarded twenty pounds, and thanked these women who sang Kunqu opera one by one, as for whether these people sang well or not, he really didn't understand, in fact, he gave such a high reward, but also wanted to show his strength, so that someone would find trouble when the time came.
